Losing Weight Smartly, not Hardly…


Published: April 11th, 2009

Weight loss is not as easy, for some, as eat less and exercise more.

It makes a lot more sense to lose weight the smart way.  Because trying to lose weight the hard way hardly ever really works.

For a lot of people, eating right and exercising is exactly the ticket.  The trick there is just knowing how to eat, and the right kind and amount of exercise.

But for other folks, it’s more complicated.  Chances are good that if you are one of those folks, you may intuitively know that there has got to be something else going on, because you have tried so hard and so many times to lose weight without long lasting results.  That can be disheartening and too many of us end up feeling like we just don’t have enough will power.

By looking at how the system works, our vision opens up about what other things might be going on to have us saying “why can’t I lose weight”?

Take this survey to see if there are other things that may be hijacking your weight loss efforts.

.

• Do you feel gassy after eating

• Do milk and dairy products make you feel very relaxed?

• Do you crave baked goods or sugars?

• Do you exercise but no weight loss results?

• Do you have constipation or diarrhea?

• Do you have skin rashes?

• Do you have mood swings?

• Are you always cold?

• Does your social or emotional life revolve around food?

• Are your friends and family overweight?

• Is it hard for you to exercise because of fatigue or extreme muscle soreness?

• Does more than about 1/4 or your diet consist of grains?

Notice that there is no question here about willpower!!!

.

How many positive responses do you have?  The more yes responses, the more likely it is you have other contributing factors that make it hard to lose weight.

2 - likely to have some contributing factor
4 - likely to have a couple contributing factors
>6 -  likely to have several contributing factors

Does this sound like you?  What are your challenges around weight loss? Would you like to get beyond willpower?
